Mind the gap: Inside the Newsroom 10.20 | THE BAINBRIDGE BLAB
Published 11:28 am Friday, November 20, 2015
A few readers have wondered about the blank spot left on today’s front page. Here’s the explanation.
At the end of every month, with a few exceptions, the newsroom of the Bainbridge Review puts together 98110, a free newspaper that is mailed to all non-subscribers of the Review on Bainbridge Island.
On some months, instead of the publication 98110, non-subscribers are mailed instead that week’s edition of the Bainbridge Review.
That’s what happened with Friday’s edition of the paper — it’s our November freebie to non-subscribers.
And because the newspaper is mailed to all those islanders, we must make room on the front page for a mailing label.
So, on today’s edition, the lower left corner of the front page is left blank to leave space for the mailing label.
If you have received today’s paper and there’s a blank spot in the corner, and not a mailing label, that’s because you’re special: You’re a subscriber [or have purchased the paper at the newsstand]. Thank you! Thanks for supporting a community institution – and the only newspaper in the world that cares about Bainbridge Island.
The Bainbridge Blab is your one-stop spot to get the 411 on all things 98110. From South Beach to Agate Passage, Battle Point to Rolling Bay, we’ve got the straight skinny on Bainbridge Island: the latest chatter, babble and burble. News, too.
